Time for the first update...

[ALEX.18 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ALEX.18]

WEEK 1 - 2/18-2/24

STATS: 259lbs 13% body fat

MONDAY

Diet: Took meal 5 & 6 out due to the fact that i didnt train today. Still ate every 3 hours for the most part. Totals: 1500cals, 7g carbs, 38g fats, 255g pro

Training: No cardio or lifting today

Gear: 40mcg Clen, 12.5mcg T3, 12.5mg Aromasin, 500mg Blend, & 150mg Prop

Notes: overall good day just a little tired due to a lack of sleep last night. The blend is really thick but the pins still went smooth with a 25g needle. No PIP or anything yet even with the prop

TUESDAY

Diet: Spot on. Added 44 carbs to meal #3 to bring them up kind of like an overload after going so low yesterday. Totals: 2560 cals, 174g carbs, 44g fats, 330g pro

Training: Real good night on the weights. Gonna scale back on the weights a bit and try to focus a little more on cardio. Still gonna go heavy to tear down the muscle, just not my usual 16-20 sets for big groups and 12-15 for smaller groups. Ended up with 15 sets for chest and 10 sets on tri's but i made every rep count. Did something ive only done once before and pre exhaust the chest with 2 sets of heavy flys. I really got a good pump and feel like it helped me be able to contract the chest a little more on the rest of my lifts. Only had time for 15 mins of cardio after the workout. It will get better through out the cycle

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 40mcg clen

Notes: Little disappointed in myself for not getting up this morning for cardio. Ill remember how this feels when the alarm goes off tomorrow morning

WEDNESDAY

Diet: On point yet again. I think i have the hang of this diet thing. Totals: 2500 cals, 130g carbs, 50g fats, 350g pro

Training: Back and bis tonight. Felt okay. Still managed to get a good workout in. 15 sets for back, 9 for bis. Decided to stick with 15 mins of cardio at night only for the remainder of this week. I will bump it up 5 minutes every week till i get to 30 mins then ill start adding in morning cardio. The reason for this is simple. I havent done a minute of cardio in 2 weeks. I treat cardio as a supplement to my training. If i start out at 30 mins in the am and 30 mins after i lift, i cant go anywhere beyond that except back down. By gradually increasing it every week, it will be more of a shock to the body than going 1 hour a day straight out the gate.

Gear: 150mg Prop, 12.5mcg T3, 60mcg Clen

Notes: Pinned in my quad today for the first time ever. Little pip not too bad though. Prob a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Had a blood fountain when i pulled out. It was pretty cool haha. Must have nicked a vein cause i had a clean aspiration

THURSDAY

Diet: Well i had my first slip up today. Had a slice of cheese pizza and a bread stick with meal #3 8). I think i deserved it though and its bot like i ate half a pizza or something. Other than that, spot on again. Totals: 2600 cal, 175g carbs, 55g fats, 325g pro (and yes that is with the pizza n breadstick)

Training: Only did shoulders tonight. No cardio. Ended up with 20 sets. My shoulders respond well to higher reps so i try to stay above 12 reps. I know 20 sets seems like a lot for one body part, but i hit all heads of the deltoids separately. Usually 5-6 sets for each head of the delt, and 3-4 sets of some kind of presses.

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 60mcg Clen, 12.5mg Aromasin

Notes: Dragging ass today. Pretty hectic day at work. Glad tomorrow is an off day from the gym.

FRIDAY

Diet: Had to switch up a few things due to lent. Had fish twice and a shake instead of turkey. Totals: 1360 cals, 9g carbs, 24g fat, 250g pro

Training: Zero. Thank god for off days

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 60mcg Clen, 300mg Blend, 150mg Prop

Notes: Worn out. Im glad i dont have to train today.

SATURDAY

Diet: Change in plans for today too. Added some carbs to breakfast and meal #2 was my pre workout meal. Everything after that was normal. Totals: 1800 cals, 130g carbs, 34g fat, 225g pro

Training: Hit a new PR on squats, 450lbs for 8 reps. Focused a little more on hamstrings this session due to the fact that i did a lot of quad work last leg workout. Ended up with 21 sets total. 9 for quads, 9 for hammies, 3 for calves. Did 15 mins of cardio before my workout to get a sweat going and blood flowing.

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 80mcg Clen

Notes: Felt good in the gym today. PIP from the shot in the quad wednesday finally cleared up today. Feel like the prop might be kicking in. Not full force yet but i am feeling some strength gains

SUNDAY

Diet: Had to adjust a few meals but overall a pretty good day at the table again. Totals: 1950 cals, 130g carbs, 21g fat, 290g pro

Training: Chest and tris today. Pre exhausted chest again with 2 heavy sets of pec deck flys. Ended up with 15 sets for chest and 11 sets for tris. Went home, ate and cut the grass at a pretty rapid pace so im counting that as my cardio haha

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 80mcg Clen, 50mg Prop

Notes: Nothing special to report here. I still feel like the prop is kicking in. Definitely can confirm strength gains. Did the 90lb dumbbells on incline for 9 reps. Not a PR bur better than i have been getting lately
